This song was written by Cole Porter

             D
  Oh, give me land, lots of land
  
  Under starry skies above.
                 A7
  Don't fence me in.
  
  Let me ride through the wide open
  
  Country that I love.
                 D
  Don't fence me in.
         D                   D7
  Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
  G
  Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees.
  D                         B7
  Send me off forever but I ask you please,
  E7    A7       D
  Don't fence me in.
  
    

             G
  Just turn me loose let me straddle my old saddle
                         D
  Underneath the western skies
        G
  On my cayuse let me wander over yonder
                          D        A7
  Till I see the mountain rise.
            D                           D7
  I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences.
  G
  Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
    D                           B7
  I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences.
  E7    A7       D
  Don't fence me in.
